    Summary

    “Conner, would you go be a dear and go out and help him with the tree?” Ma asked kindly, smiling at Conner softly with a look that always melted him. He dropped the potatoes on the counter and gave a short nod, trying not to look too confused.

    Sure, trees in the middle of winter, that made perfect sense. But he wasn’t going to say any of that.

    “‘Course, Ma,”

    --

    Conner helps Ma and Pa decorate the Christmas tree.

    Summary

    “B,” Dick cries, dropping into his chest, shoulders shaking.

    For an awful, awful moment, Dick realizes he’s made a mistake. He’s not twelve anymore—the kid who crawled into Batman’s lap is gone, grown up. He shouldn’t be doing this, he shouldn’t need this.

    And then Bruce’s arms fold him in closer. “Shh,” he murmurs. “It’s okay.”

    Dick cries harder, he’s desperate, dragging himself onto Bruce to wrap winding limbs around him. He doesn’t want to let go. Everything hurts, inside and out, and he wants…he wants…

    “Dad,” Dick says. “Dad, help.” 

    Or, Dick gets many hugs over the years, but there's one he needs.

    Summary

    Chapter 4:

    Jason is sprawled on his back, limbs tangled in odd folds of comforter, pillow slipped somewhere near his feet. His pajama pants are rucked to his mid-calf, twisted so their seams are off center. The sheets around him are damp with sweat and his shirt has been discarded. On his bare chest, is a scar.

    The sunlight relieving the room leaves little imagination to its cause. 

    Or, Five times a Batfamily member saw Jason's autopsy scar.

    Summary

    “Everything was fine,” Bruce whispers, reaching out to tuck the cowlick of white hair away from Jason’s eyes. He blinks at Bruce, more blue than green. He doesn’t push him away. “You can go back to sleep,” Bruce tells him softly. “It’s early.”

    And Jason, with the same shadowed eyes as the rest of them, doesn’t argue. His eyelids flutter closed, his weight slumps in relaxation. His slow exhale ruffles couch-lint when he murmurs, “Stay?”

    Summary

    The video cuts out.

    For a moment, the cave is silent, as frozen as the black screen that encompasses the Batcomputer.

    And then Tim’s hands are falling to seize the handrests of the Batchair, spinning it around. Bent over, his face, furious and openly agonized, is right in front of Damian's.

    “What,” Tim says, voice dangerous, shaking in an effort to stay calm. “Are you doing.”

    Or, the Batcomputer has case files for everything the Batfamily encounters. Everything includes Jason's death.
